Sandboarding session on Morra de Areia’s dunes in Boa Vista

4.6/5
76 reviews

With bright coastal views, the rippling desert of Morro de Areia is the perfect place to get the adrenaline pumping with a 90-minute sandboarding experience. Boa Vista, which means "good view" in Portuguese, is the easternmost island of Cape Verde. It's known for its great beaches and patches of desert landscape. Jose, one of our expert local guides, says, 'Prepare to get very sandy on this exhilarating trip into Boa Vista's beautiful seaside nature reserve. But getting sandy is all part of the fun as you whizz down and clamber up the dunes.'

Morro de Areia is one of the most prominent dune systems on the island and is especially known for its pristine and shifting sands. The scenic sand dunes that line the coast of Boa Vista have the added advantage that you can often see the coast from the higher dunes, and Morro de Areia is no exception. Sit back and enjoy the ride as you drive out across the sands, it's an exciting trip for both adults and kids as you roar across the dunes.

The wild surroundings and fabulous views make the perfect backdrop for some unbridled fun. After a safety briefing and demonstration from your friendly instructors, have a go at surfing the dunes yourself. It's a brilliant way to get out into nature and see a different side of the island while enjoying a new experience which will have all the family whooping with excitement. Half-time refreshments are provided so you can rest and enjoy the sea view.

    We took our 8 month old baby and they were very accommodating letting us go half way down the banking. Was a lot of fun and some great photos too! Only comment would be there was a seat in the front which would have been great to use with the baby rather than squeezed into the back of the truck but overall it was a lot of fun

    We loved the whole experience. Guides were all lovely and enthusiastic. They offered great advice and were extremely supportive. If I had to find one thing I felt could be better it would be the boards. They were a bit old and not a great design.

    No communication regarding ability of individuals. Get on the board on a high slope with steep incline. No chance to say, I don't feel ready to do that. I female was given 121 tuition on how to stand up, leaving 1 board for 9 people to share.

    Fabulous experience in a stunning location. This was something for everyone and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. The duration was just right as this is not something you could do all day.
